Artist Statement

Desiring not to be "locked in" to a subject I have not focused on producing any collections. My preference has been to produce customized pieces according to clients requests or produce works from my inspirations.

I am inspired by my dreams,visions, passions,& my favorite past-times. Some of my favorite past-times are spending time with my loved ones, (including my 3 inspiring cats) nature walks & observing people.

A majority of my work has been created on a commission basis. I thrive on challenges. Taking the request of a client to produce a customized piece of art is a thrill to me.The rest of my work is produced purely for the joy of creation - the solidifying of an inspired image from my minds eye.

I have enjoyed living & working in various places - Texas, Iowa, Georgia, & Germany. Having a passion for diversity - I pursue passionately emersing myself in new media,cultures, languages & environments whenever I possibly can.
